Research shows that eating nuts and seeds has many health benefits. Nuts can help keep your heart healthy and your blood pressure low. They may protect you against some cancers and improve your bowel health.
Remember, that while nuts are nutritious they do have a lot of fat and calories. Some varieties will also have added sugar and salt. Choose most often plain unsalted nuts. A good serving of nuts is 60 mL (1/4 cup). This is about the amount that can fit into the palm of your hand.
